Sat 4: The Bush League All-Stars, Sam Brown, John Olexavitch/The Lindsay 7pm
PICK: Bush League now has just as much in common with the heavier, dirtier rock of The Evil Queens and the Killionaires (with which Bush League shares many members) as with the Midwest twang rock long associated with them. Sam Brown (Yr So Bossy, New Bomb Turks, Gaunt) is doing solo set. John (Lex Enduction Hour, Linda Trip, The Lindsay) is doing his solo things and some version of the Lindsay. The Lindsay kinda meld the poppier sides of Sonic Youth and the Pixies with a bit of Neil Young for good Ohio measure.

Still, I'd like to hear a few more edges. Hmm, or a solo set. I suspect I will some day.
